Red and Black Prime Arena Ovens by Authentic Pizza Ovens
The Prime Arena series represents a bold, contemporary evolution of the traditional wood-fired oven. Hand-built in Portugal, these models are designed for homeowners who desire a high-performance culinary tool with a striking, modern aesthetic. The series is defined by its vibrant colored finishes—available in deep red or sleek black—which are applied over a specialized high-heat refractory coating.
Unique Characteristics of the Prime Arena Model
The most distinctive feature of the Prime Arena is its textured, all-weather colored finish. Unlike traditional brick-faced ovens, the Arena features a smooth, uniform dome and facade coated in a high-performance, heat-resistant pigment. This model is specifically engineered for those who want a "pop" of color in their outdoor kitchen without the maintenance of stone or brick grout lines. Additionally, the Prime Arena utilizes a specialized low-dome internal geometry, making it a powerhouse for rapid heat-up times and consistent floor temperatures.
Model Comparison: Red Prime vs. Black Prime
The choice between these two models is purely aesthetic, as both share identical construction and performance specifications. The Red Prime Arena serves as a vibrant focal point, evoking the traditional warmth of Mediterranean cooking with a modern, high-gloss energy. It pairs exceptionally well with natural wood accents and light-colored masonry. The Black Prime Arena offers a sophisticated, minimalist look. Its deep charcoal-to-black finish provides a dramatic contrast in modern outdoor spaces, especially those featuring stainless steel appliances, dark granite countertops, or industrial architectural elements.
Specifications for Prime Arena Ovens
Exterior Dimensions: Approximately 39 inches Wide x 39 inches Deep x 26 inches High. Interior Dimensions: Approximately 31 inches Wide x 31 inches Deep. The low-dome height is approximately 15 inches, optimized for intense floor heat. Weight: Approximately 1,250 lbs. Materials: Authentic fire brick and mortar interior, patented Rockwool triple insulation, and a non-rusting black cast aluminum door and chimney cavity. Included Features: Every Prime Arena includes a built-in thermometer, a stainless steel chimney with cap, and a high-heat viewing window in the door.
Installation and Base Requirements
Structural Foundation: Due to its 1,250 lb weight, the Prime Arena must be installed on a level, reinforced, non-combustible foundation. This requires a structurally engineered concrete slab or a heavy-duty masonry stand. Standard wooden decks or outdoor furniture are not capable of supporting this load. Safety Clearances: This is a wood-fired appliance and must be installed outdoors. Ensure a safe clearance from all flammable materials, including siding, fences, and overhanging rooflines, in strict accordance with local building and fire codes. Curing Process: A mandatory multi-day curing process is required before the first high-heat use. This involves building small, controlled, low-temperature fires for five to seven days to gradually draw out residual moisture from the factory materials. Proper curing prevents structural cracking and ensures the longevity of the colored exterior finish. Weather Protection: To maintain the vibrancy of the red or black finish and protect the internal insulation, it is essential to use a custom-fit, weatherproof cover when the oven is not in use, especially in environments subject to heavy rain or snow.
